When you swing your carrier closed, you’ll pull the door-link through. This is how it will be set up if you don’t have a body lift. If you have a body lift, you’ll have to move spacers around. Honestly.. I don’t know a single JK owner with a body lift.



The tire carrier relies on tension against the body, stops and the OEM plugs here. Again, the swing arm leans a bit towards the body. The L-shaped bars you attach to the swing arm offer a lot of adjustability on how and where you create tension.



I had to trim the passenger side bumper a bit, as it was not impacting laterally to compress the stop, but rather pushing it to the side. Taking off a quarter inch had it working as intended in no-time.



The LOD setup offers a ton of adjustability for your spare for most any tire size up to 40” and for varying widths. Here is where mine ended up after some ruler guesswork.
